Just as it is important to know where our consumer goods come from, how they have been produced, the safety of these goods, their quality, the contents of our food, so is the fairness of staff pay. The recent economic crises have been driven by the scandals in the financial services, their remuneration has not been effectively criticised and curbed by the share holders and there is not enough transparency to allow a public debate about the fairness of pay in these service industries and in the general economy. What people earn should be transparent in order to allow public scrutiny over the fairness of pay. The same applies to other industries: supermarkets, multinationals, entertainment industries, like the BBC, sports and charities.The highest earners seem to believe in their entitlement to an ever larger slice of the national earnings, and even convince the public that this is reasonable. A public debate about fair pay is what is needed. Please note that the figures on income distribution published by the UK government exclude information from the financial services. That is why these services should be included in these new legal requirements. In the long run these data can be used to measure the relative fairness of companies, leading to league tables much like league tables for schools and universities, or leading to a Charter mark like Fair Trade or labelling of food items in the supermarket. This could also be rolled out internationally leading to fairer pay in the world.

The referendum was called by Prime Minister David Cameron, who has now resigned leaving the country in a parlous state with nobody at the helm. For members of parliament to abandon ship leaving us rudderless for the next six weeks would be negligent.

MOD costings for renewal of Trident are still based on 2007 estimates, and are said to be between £15 and £20 billion. We are now entering a period of at least two years when the value of the pound and our country's credit rating will be at best uncertain, and possibly lead to recession. Whatever happens once we have left the EU, for the next two years there will be less money to spend on the NHS, schools, care for the elderly and disadvantaged, not more, and it makes no sense to committ such a proportion of our dwindling resources to this project. Let us at least wait until we have more idea of what our relations with the EU and the rest of the world will look like, and how our economy is faring, before the debate is held.

This will help decrease the democratic deficit in the UK, and will abolish the argument that 16+ year olds are clueless about politics. Our aims also include to educate the basics of taxing, saving and living well with money, eradicating debt in our future generations lives.

The North East of England includes some of the poorest and most deprived areas of Britain and indeed of the European Union. The people here in the North East were warned that the EU would extend and that they would lose the desperately needed funds they currently receive from the EU. They voted with a promise of not just the status quo, but of improved wealth and opportunity for the working classes. This was said to be due to the British government taking back control and being able to use our government created money supply, free from EU involvement, to ensure a better life for everyone. This now needs to happen as promised not only to prevent hardship & suffering, but to give the next generation the opportunities promised. We ask for anyone who believes the justice and fairness if worth fighting for to support this campaign to get the British government to make the fair and just decision.

In the post brexit world it will be essential for our country to be in full control of all the means necessary to survive. On our own we would have a diminished ability to negotiate favourable terms with the rest of the world and In such circumstances we cannot risk putting ourselves into a position where we can be held to ransom by any foreign government or multinational corporation. The only way this can be guaranteed is to own and control all the things required to be self sufficient in what will become a hostile trading climate.

Submission of the Article 50 Notice will start an irreversible process that will have profound consequences for decades to come. The electorate must have an opportunity to give their informed consent, so the Prime Minister, Parliament, and the public, can be be confident that this momentous step has the full backing of the British people.

I'm a nurse and must wait until I'm 66-67 before I can receive my old age pension from the Gov. My nhs contributed personal pension won't cover my monthly bills if I retire at 60 yrs old and I'm sure there are a lot more people out there in the same predicament! Women used to reach retirement age at 60 yrs old so let's re consider this important aspect of being able to enjoy retirement with enough money to do so rather than having the possibility of being too ill in old age beforehand

Because the anger demonstrated by Brexit reflects the deep sense of alienation not only from political life but from engagement in society which is felt by so many. As the food bank queues grow longer it is essential that we move beyond welfare to create a truly radical reshaping of our economy in order that all can participate.

This is important as many voters feel mislead after the referendum. This will give the whole of the UK time to understand what is really on offer at the end of negotiations. Will immigration be reduced, how much money will we really have available after withdrawal. This will ensure Brexit negotiations will focus on what has been promised, and show the voters what is on offer.

Did you know that the equivalent of 80% of your council tax goes on loan interest? Barclays and RBS sold Newham Council a bet on interest rates using loan deals called LOBOs - and they lost. That means £50 million in interest a year which could be used for: - Surestart centres - Community centres - Schools - Street cleaners - New council housing ...but instead that £50 million in interest is going to greedy banksters. Our legal advisers say that Newham's mayor, Sir Robin Wales, could put a stop to all this by taking the banks to court for mis-selling, just like we can do with PPI. Help us get our money back from the banks by signing this petition!

There are thousands of British people working and living in the EU. As a result of this referendum, they may be forced to leave and return to Britain where they have no home, community or security.
